Revised regulations for the water
service are published in an advertise

AS some people have read them as
meaning an increase in the rates, our
representative has questioned Mr. vii.

on the matter. His reply is that a
general increase Of rates is not con
templated, although owners Of large
premises using much water may in
some cases have more TO pay for their
privileges than formerly Mr. Wilson
has further stated that the revision is
based on the most equitable system
that could be devised, and he is pre-

DALLAS sends out to the world
more publications than any two or
three cities southwest of st. Louis.
The number of pounds sent out Of
Dallas county (for there is no
postage on papers sent in the
county Of publication, and they
are not weighed) was 1865
pounds in January, and q, 920
pounds in February. Large gain
for shorter month. The postage
paid was respectively s196.65 and
$4,000. Estimating twenty pa
pers to the pound, a fair average,
we have as the number of papers
mailed to subscribers out of DIAL
las, 1893, 300 for January, and for
February 43S, 400-an average of
1880 papers per day; but Of
course a good per cent of this cir
culation is from the weekly papers,
chief among which are the Baptist
Herald, Mercury and WEEKLY
HERALD, Neither do these figures
include large circulation of the
daily press, sent out by express.
Enough may be deduced from the
showing, however, to place Dallas
far in the front as headquarters for
publications in the southwest,
without even rival.

ing of Judge Scarborough, the ex-
perienced skill Of Judge Smith, the
honest and earnest arguments OF
Gholson and the tact, talent and en-
thusiasm of Mr.. Bell. Both Judge
and jury were interested in the argu-
ment and eloquence Of the attornies
and the case will be remembered as
one of the most interesting ever
brought before court in this city.
1t gave us much pleasure to hear
the able arguments Of our young
friends G. M. Bell and M. Savage,
and their being on opposite sides in
the case gave us fine opportunity
to witness an exhibition of their in
fuence upon jury. They differ in
style as in temperament, yet both
enter fully into sympathy with their
clients and make every point that
the evidence can reasonably sustain.
We feel a personal pride in their sue
cess and we need lay no claim tC
prophetic powers when we say thai
still higher positions will in the neal
future reward the patient toll Of oul
talented young friends.
